Description of the country: Sabaku No Kuni or the Desert Country is one of the Five Great Nations. Its government leader is the Sand Daimyō, however the Subakukage is the military leader and has all and final say about military action. The country covers a vast realm, but is significantly composed of deserts and thus has little productivity. With little productivity the country turned its sights at becoming a military power house, 60% of the overall population of the country are military personnel.

The main export of the country are various types of metallic dust or sand, which is used in a verity of crafts across the nations. This is due in part to one of the two exclusive Kekkei Genkai of the country known as Magnet Release. As the name suggests this ability allows the user to create magnetic forces for various properties and usages. A unit of specialized Water style users work in tandem with the magnet users to mine for the various metallic dust such as gold, silver, iron, and copper.

The second main export is labor. Using the lands second exclusive Kekkei Genkai known as Explosion Release shinobi are hired for a number of tasks which range from body guards to demolition units for construction. Master users of this Kekkei Genkai are often recruited to join an elite unit called The TNT Unit who wor under the direct command of the Subakukage.

Despite the country's extremely harsh environment, it has a large population. Because there is very little rainfall throughout the year, the majority of people in the country live in villages built on one of the desert's many oases. The buildings in these villages are built with clay and stucco with all the villages having differing sized greenhouses which is there main source of vegetation and food. Smaller clans opted not to create traditional villages and etched out pieces of large dried out trees for homes creating settlements. The largest greenhouse is located in he Hidden Village which distributes extra food to other villages.

Sunaarashigakure (砂隠れの里, Literally meaning: Village Hidden by Sandstroms) is the hidden village of the Land of Deserts. As the village of one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, Sunaarashigakure has a Kage as its leader known as the Subakukage. Being surrounded by desert offers the village a natural deterrent against invasion, as few foreign powers would be willing to endure the sandstorms and water scarcity common to Sunaaarashi. Sunaarashigakure itself lies in a fortified valley behind cliffs of rock, with passage in and out of the village restricted to a single cleft between two cliff faces, making the area very hard to attack from the ground.

Inside the fortified valley rests a massive pyramid standing 100 stories tall with the base being the size of a large village. The outside structure of the pyramid are composed of 10ft thick rock with a gold dust layer granting it an extremely durable defense against attack. The entrance of the pyramid is sealed of with a special jutsu which a shinobi must know in order to enter the pyramid without navigating through the maze. If a shinobi doesn't know the jutsu their only way of entering the village is through an underground path with leads to a large maze.

Shinobi from this village believe that the accomplishment of a mission predominates the lives of the ninja trying to accomplish it. As such, they ruthlessly pursue victory in battle, and even if failure is inevitable they will still try to achieve any success against their enemy that they can.

The sandstorm which is constantly surrounding the village is actually a barrier jutsu erected by the Kage and monitored by the barrier core, anyone who enters the sandstorm without permission is instantly detected and the sandstorm becomes thicker and more dangerous. If a shinobi from the village or someone who is given access to the village enters the sandstorm it parts providing a clear path to the entrance of the village. Shinobi also patrol the gaps of the pyramid.
